We have 2 language labs (teaching - 20 seats) here at the LLC, VUW and the room bookings are negotiated before the start of each semester on the basis of priority from one year to the next as well as more or less first come first served. It is quite challenging every year/semester to be fair and equitable to everyone particulary when dealing with classes of 100 or more students - all day booking. A lot of lecturers here are taking technology onboard and we wish to offer eveyone the same chance to use our specific equipment and software - limited to the LLC - not the wider campus. I would really appreciate hearing how you manage your lab bookings i.e weekly/fortnightly rotations? one-offs? Any experience (good and bad) I have seen and heard of online lab management software but haven't pursued the investigation. Thanks for this and keep up the good work!
